Discipline & Boundaries

Consistent, calm boundaries teach love, safety, and accountability.

Loving discipline is a form of protection. Clear rules and predictable consequences help children feel safe. Discipline with composure—anger erodes trust and blurs the lesson. Structure plus warmth builds accountable, resilient kids.

Field Tips

  • State expectations clearly; consequences should be known, not surprising.
  • Discipline in calm moments—anger confuses and wounds.
  • Combine structure with warmth: correction plus connection.
